Students of Americas are racing for fuel efficiency

In 2007, the team from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo (California) won the first Shell Eco-marathon Americas with a gasoline-powered vehicle that delivered an incredible 1,902.7 mpg (0.1238 L/100 km). Needless to say that the stakes are high for 2008! Over 50 teams (twice as many as last year) from North and South America will try to break this mark by taking part in the 2008 Shell Eco-marathon Americas. It may not be the fastest race you've ever seen, but it's probably the most fuel-efficient.
